What should she do?
That Horned Demon Bastard had turned into a beast, defiling her at a time like this.
This thought sent a chill down her spine.
The image of scattering light rain flashed in her mind, and she instantly thought of the worst possible scenario.
Her movements stiffened for a split second.
No, she couldn’t panic.
Su Nian immediately forced herself to regain her composure, focusing all her willpower on maintaining the stability of her magic.
The sorrowful, compassionate, and sacred expression on her face didn’t waver in the slightest, and the trajectory of her arm remained graceful and gentle.
She didn’t dare stop, let alone show any sign of abnormality.
In such a setting, even the slightest hint of disharmony would be infinitely amplified by the populace, eventually turning into an uncontrollable disaster.
However, the more perfect and pure the girl was at this moment, the stronger Chu Tian’s sense of conquest and satisfaction grew, hidden as he was behind her.
One step.
Then another.
Su Nian could even hear an almost imperceptible, faint rustling of fabric, precisely captured by her extraordinary hearing.
That man was right there.
A presence she couldn’t see but could feel with every cell in her body.
Whimper….
No way?
What does he want to do?!
At the top of the Saintess Tower, under the gaze of tens of thousands, the Horned Demon Lord wouldn’t really…
Su Nian’s breath almost hitched.
There was no physical touch, but that scorching, aggressive sense of presence was even more heart-pounding than a direct caress.
She could feel that burning aura pressing against her back.
If he wanted to, a single thought through the [Lover’s Prison Collar] could scatter her magic and make her disgrace herself in public.
Was he going to lay hands on her here?
Just thinking about that possibility made Su Nian’s body tremble uncontrollably.
No, she would lose control.
Fortunately, the worst-case scenario Su Nian feared did not come to pass.
She could clearly feel the man’s presence beside her, so close she could almost hear his heartbeat, but that oppressive feeling never crossed the final boundary, never truly touched her.
The Horned Demon Lord had only moved closer; he hadn’t taken any action.
After waiting a moment longer.
Only then did Su Nian feel at ease.
‘Phew~’, good thing her master hadn’t disregarded her feelings.
Come to think of it, it made sense.
The Horned Demon Lord… Chu Tian… probably wouldn’t let her embarrass herself in front of everyone.
After all, she was her master’s possession.
There was no need to humiliate her before the masses.
‘Hmm?’
Wait… why did she now feel a sense of calm acceptance about being dominated by her master like this…
Mmm… She was even starting to become somewhat addicted to this position of being controlled.
It must… it must be a temporary compromise because she had no other choice.
Once she gathered enough Humiliation Value, she would… she would recover.
After all, he had no desire to expose his woman’s shy and flustered appearance to the public.
However, that didn’t mean he would suppress himself.
The next moment.
While Chu Tian moved closer to Su Nian, though he didn’t touch the girl’s body, he… began to squat down.
Time to admire his wife from a different angle!
On the other side, Su Nian was slightly taken aback.
‘Huh?’
Why did the presence behind her suddenly seem lower?
The sense of existence that had been parallel to her had, without warning, sunk downward.
For a moment, Su Nian’s mind couldn’t quite process it.
Then, she suddenly realized.
‘He squatted down?’
‘He… squatted down?’
An utterly absurd thought burst forth from her chaotic thoughts.
That Horned Demon Bastard was squatting on the ground…
Su Nian’s cheeks instantly flushed crimson, and she almost lost control of the Holy Light output.
She bit down hard on her lower lip, forcing herself to continue maintaining her sacred posture.
“Thank you for your blessing!”
“Long live the Star-Moon Saintess!”
Su Nian gritted her teeth and persevered, inwardly cursing the bastard peeping at her from behind.
“Ding! Humiliation Value +500,000!”
The Blessing Ceremony finally ended.
As the last ray of Holy Light melted into the sky, Su Nian slowly withdrew her arms.
Below the tower, the fervent crowd was unwilling to disperse for a long time.
They shouted the name of the “Star-Moon Saintess,” their faces filled with genuine gratitude and reverence.
Maintaining that sorrowful, compassionate, sacred smile on her face, Su Nian gave a slight nod to the crowd below, then turned and stepped into the interior of the Saintess Tower.
The heavy stone door slowly closed behind her, cutting off the thunderous cheers from outside.
The world instantly fell silent.
Su Nian let out a long sigh of relief, her body instantly shedding all pretense of strength.
“Phew…”
She leaned against the cold stone wall, feeling her legs go weak.
This Blessing Ceremony was more exhausting than any before.
Mentally exhausting.
Just thinking about that Horned Demon Bastard squatting so brazenly behind her, looking at her with that gaze that made her want to die of shame…
Su Nian’s cheeks uncontrollably grew hot.
The interior of the Saintess Tower, unlike the opulence of Shadowmoon Manor, was solemn and dignified.
Complex [Amplification Magic Arrays] were carved on the walls, and the air was filled with the pure aura of light elements.
This was her exclusive [Forbidden Zone].
No one else could set foot here besides her.
That meant here, she could briefly be herself again, without having to play any role.
However.
Just as this thought arose, a familiar, intensely aggressive masculine presence enveloped her from behind without warning.
Su Nian’s body instantly stiffened.
He too…
He followed her in!
Before Su Nian could react, a pair of powerful arms encircled her slender willow-like waist, pulling her whole body backward.
A broad, scorching chest pressed tightly against her back.
“Mmph!”
Su Nian let out a short gasp, and then, her soft lips were precisely captured by the person behind her.
Chu Tian had deactivated his invisibility.
He couldn’t hold back any longer.
At the top of the tower, watching her perform miracles in front of a million people… seeing the girl’s sacred, noble, untouchable appearance—this extreme contrast had long since…
Intense shame and resistance surged in Su Nian’s heart, and she instinctively tried to struggle.
However, the arms encircling her waist were like iron clamps, rendering her immobile.
What made her feel even more despairing was…
After a brief moment of stiffness, her body actually began to uncontrollably soften.
A familiar, love-hate-inducing tremor shot up from her tailbone straight to her brain.
Earlier, at the top of the tower, she had kept imagining what if this bastard did something to her during the ceremony, regardless of everything…
That fear and secret anticipation had already planted a seed of fire within her body.
And now, Chu Tian’s kiss was like a spark igniting the fuse.
‘Boom—’
The long-suppressed desire instantly erupted.
‘Just… just let it be.’
The last shred of reason in Su Nian’s mind completely snapped.
She gave up resisting.
Even, in the brief pause as that domineering kiss was about to end, she slightly raised her head, actively deepening the kiss.
Her hands, which had originally wanted to push him away, slowly lifted and finally wrapped around the man’s broad back, her fingertips even digging somewhat forcefully into his firm muscles.
Close your eyes.
Let him do as he pleases.
Chu Tian felt the girl’s change from resistance to submission, and then to active reciprocation.
The darkness in his eyes grew even more profound.
A satisfied smirk curled at the corner of his mouth.
He released his plunder of the girl’s lips, instead letting his scorching kisses trail downward, imprinting on her long, pale neck.
“It seems… you couldn’t wait either.”
His low, husky voice, filled with undisguised desire, sounded in Su Nian’s ear.
Su Nian, too ashamed, buried her face in the crook of his neck, not daring to respond, but her body trembled lightly in honest reaction.
“Master…”
Those two words completely ignited the last of Chu Tian’s reason.
Black lace, fair skin.
The sacred Holy Light stone platform, the fallen Saintess.
“Ding! The host has been thoroughly conquered by her master in the holy place, the Saintess Tower. Humiliation Value +500,000!!”
“Ding! The host’s heart sinks into depravity. Corruption level increased. Humiliation Value +500,000!”
“Ding! Unlocked Humiliation Scenario: Saintess Tower.”
